lions. You see, year ago, after
Iheresas fight with them, o. Is. Haw-
lev and other raisers OF Angora goats--
those who had suffered losses--put
their heads together and organized a
posse to kill them off. They killed
great many and pretty well cleaned
them out, il was thought. For some
months thereafter there were very few
OF them seen around, and these were
very wary. Lately, however, the lions
have come TO The front. The foot
hills have seemed to be swarming
with them. They again invaded
the stockades and sucked the
blood of the goats whose Threats
they cut. Miss Tallert, who had lost
some more Of her flock and knew that
the lions came around there quite often
at night, got q couple Of Winchesters
and loaded them with buckshot few
nights ago. Then she dug out the
thinking between the logs on the side
of her cabin next TO the stockade, and
at this portfolio she took up her station.
Well, in five nights in this way she
killed thirteen mountain lions, and she
saws that she is not through with them
vet. Her herd Of goats comprises
sone five hundred in all, and perhaps
thirty or fifty of these have been killed
in the last month or two"
Miss Tallert is German girl, who
bas been ranching on the Little Lost
river for three or four years. The
country round there is good for An
CORA goats, and she got her start by
working first for wages for A. j. Bru-
ner, who is the biggest grower in that
region.

To the Editor ofMe Dispatch:

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
In one of your issues short time
ago appeared an editorial on the re-
cuperation of the soil of Virginia, and
this is to call your attention, as you
seem to be interested in all that per-
tains to the good of the agriculturalist,
to an article found in certain portions
of our State, which seems TO be pro-
vided by nature for the full restoration
to fertility of all WORKOUT or crop-sick
lands. II is known as green-sand mari,
and is encountered along the banks
of certain tide water rivers, nota-
bly, the James and Pamunkey.
1t contains, as the analysis shows,
every element of plant-food in its most
concentrated and soluble form, enter
ing at once into consumption, orrather
absorption, by growing plants. One Of
It's remarkable characteristics Is Its
power of imrarting slowly, year after
wear. its wonderful virtues 10 the soil,
rendering it arenewer, when once free
" applied, that will last for more
than twenty years. Green sand be-
longs to or is found in what IS
termed in geology the eOcene, or
first or lowest subdivision of the
tertiary period o. the earth, and is
supposed to have been the bed OF an
ocean, or very ancient lake, for 1t is
full Of petriiied remains OF immense
marine as well as torrene animals ola
kind which have long, long since dis
appeared from land and water. Along
the banks Of the Pamunkey river this
stratum appears to have been thrust
upwards by some tremendous uphea-
val to the surface, and is found in spots
above the bed of the stream, while in
other places, lower down the river,
nearer the deep water, it is reached by
digging few feet beneath the level of
the water. There is on this river one of
the famous ante-bellum plantations,
which, when purchased by its owner a
few years before the late war, was
wornout old-field farm, too poor to
sprout peas, which by liberal appli-
cation Of green-sand mari, dug out Of
its bosom by its enterprising and intel
ligcnt owner, yielded as high as thirty
bushels of fine wheat to the acre and
enormous crops of corn and oats and
the land to-day, after twenty-five years
of inferior cultivation, with no i'm
provements of any kind added to it,
makes good crops. ,.

Sanitary Measures-Ice.

To the EditOT Of the D1SpQtch
Ice may be regarded as cold stored
UP in CONCEALED water TO mitigate the
excessive heat of summer just as fuel is
stored up to protect against the cold Of
winter. They are contrasted comforts,
each indispensable in its sphere and con-
ferring unreasonable benefits upon
communities living in climates which
require their use.
The depressing and injurious effects
of q high temperature, such as prevails
in the summer months OF our climate,
and the necessity OF guarding against
them by suitable clothing, change Of
diet, and other precautions, have been
considered in former article.
Ice is useful for the same purpose.
The cold locked up in its crystal letters
is released by melting and helps to
mitigate the almost iutolerable heat of
the summer season. Its indiscrect use,
however, is a frequent cause of sick
ness, and caution should be exercised
as to the manner of takingit. Persons
in good health should avoid the prac-
tice frequently INDUCED in of eating
Jumps OF ice or crushed ice. 1t retards
digestion by chillingthe contents of the
stomach.
Iced drinks should be taken slowly,
particularly if the body is heated, and
in moderate quantities. They should
also be dispensed with, as rule, when
the season becomes so cool as not to
necessitate their use. The habit of
using ice-water the year round cannot
be too strongly condemned.
1t is important that the water from
which the ice is formed should be
fresh and pure. Freezing does not
remove all impurities, and frequent at
tacks of disease have been traced to
the use of ice made from impure water.

of his teachings.
Mr.. Hopkins's publications have
been an important contribution to phi
losophical and theological literature.
His article ON " Mystery" appeared in
the American Journal Of Science and
Arts in 1928. Year by year his bacca-
laureate sermons have been committed
TO the press. His lectures before the
Lowell Institute, Boston, on "Eyi-
dences of Christianity" delivered in
1e49, and "Moral Science" in 1862,
have taken their places as college text
books. A further development of this
subject was published in 1859, under
the title of "The Law of Love
and Love as Law" In 1874
he published can Outline Study of
Man." He has made collection of his
sermons, entitled strength and Beau

interviewed and blended with

NJ which. intertwined and blended with
trapscendant art, still further enhanced
her incompatible brilliancy. When
che entered her box there was murmur
~ general admiration. The imperial
box opened in its turn, and the master
of the world appeared, saluted by these
kings and princes with n formidable
cry of " Viro y Emperor J"
II was generally remarked that tne
Fmuress seemed unable to take her
ewes off her sister in-law, and appeared
10 be fascinated, dazzled, like the other
occurnnts OF the vast auditorium, Win
the marvellous brilliancy OF the neck
lace. Suddenly the box of the Prin-
cess Porgbese opened, and young
major presented himself, wearing the
brilliant blue-and-siiver uniform OF the
aldes.dc camp of the Emperor stan
Her Majesty, the Empress, said ne,
bowing low, "admires the wonderful
necklace worn by your imperial hign--
hess, aud has expressed the ilyeiiest
Cesirp TO examine II close" This cpl
sode occurred toward the middle oil the
second act The ontr' dcte came and
passed away. The third act concluded
IN its turn. The fourth act came and
passed, and the entertainment con-
cluded, yet still the necklace was not
returned.
The Princess Rorphese took this for
Characteristic freak OF Marie Louise's.
Novt dav. however. she asked il the
necklace had pleased the Empress, and
whether she had found the setting and
arrangement of the jewels to her taste.
The impress was thunderstruck, for
she had not seen it, and had sent no
officer for it as described. Napoleon
deigned to mix himself up in the af-
fair. He had the names OF all the stall
officers on duty the preceding evening
aecertained. And then, one by one,
under some pretext or other, he had
them called before his sister. She did
not recognize one of them. They sum-
moned the Prince OF Ortrante, minister
of police. A long council was held.
Everything possible was done, but in
vain. The unfortunate Bouche was
ready to tear his hair in despair. He
had set his keenest bloodhounds at
work. His best detectives were lite
rally run off their legs without result.
As to their imperial master, he was
literally bubbling over with rage, and
was almost on the point Of thrashing
his chief of police. But neither the
necklace (Which was worth nearly
81, OOO,C O0) nor the audacious thief was
ever seen again

IN THE CLUBS.
When not at the theatre or at the Hoff-
man House, leaning against one OF the
gilded pillars putting cigarettes with
the air OF a bidse man of the world and
talking small gossip with the cronies of
the same ilk. he was at the Home Club,
on Twenty-fourth street. When he

is a French organization, composed Of
some of the masculine leaders of French
society in New York. 1t il supposed
to be what is commonly known
as enlightened" Here the young
man dined, and also passed
the later hours of the evening and
the early hours OF the morning in play
ing baccarat, at which he is said to
have been badly worsted. He was sur
rounded by sparks OF his own nation
atty, who knew he had plenty of money
and who regarded him simply as a
young goose TO be plucked. Members
of the Consolidated Exchange showed
him especial attention and brokers
from the other boards seemed to be
seen with him. Itwas curious to mark
the bearing of this unfortunate off
spring of low morality. His manners
were arrogant, overbearing, insolent.

was acclaimed in the loud manners of
a born cad. Yet, surprising as it may
seem, cultured girls of wealthy families,
well-known in society, were sill y enough
tocovertly encourage his notice. Stage
struck maidens of Murray Hill seeking
the notice of cynical French cox
comb. Faughl His birth is some
thing for which he is not to blame, but
retiring and gentlemanly manners
would be peculiarly appropriate in such
case. New York is full of such odo-
rous specimens of fast life, and they
seem popular with a certain class of
girls who are fascinated by the fumes
from lower world. New York seems
to become more Partisan every year.
